The zoo may not
be first place that springs to mind when you think about weddings and
indeed it may seem a bit ‘wild’!

In fact, the Mansion House provides an elegant and
unique setting to rival any venue in the capital.

Abigail and Iain
chose this venue because they felt that it was a very unique and beautiful
place for everyone to enjoy. Iain was born in Edinburgh and his family live
here, and this was one of the first places that he took Abigail to when they
started dating – so it’s somewhere she has always loved as well.

These words by
Mark Twain perfectly capture Abigail and Iain’s feelings about marriage:

A marriage makes two fractional lives a whole; it
gives two purposeless lives a work and doubles the strength of each to perform
it. It gives two questioning natures a reason for living and something to live
for. It will give new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers,
a new beauty to the earth and a new mystery to life.

Iain and Abigail each lit a candle to symbolise their separate lives before their formal union as a married couple. After they exchanged their vows, they lit a third candle together, symbolising the joining together of their lives in marriage.

Congratulations to you both and may the light of your marriage burn brightly for the rest of your lives.

“Fiona,
just a quick email to thank you again. The tone of the ceremony was exactly
what we hoped for and we could not have asked for it to go any better. We are
very grateful for all of your help and advice. We received so many lovely
comments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and we just
wanted to let you know how grateful we are that you were a part of our day.”
